Learning with Analytical Models
To understand and predict the performance of parallel and distributed programs, several analytical and machine learning approaches have been proposed, each having its advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we propose and validate a hybrid approach exploiting both analytical and machine learning models. The hybrid model is able to learn and correct the analytical models to better match the actual performance. Furthermore, the proposed hybrid model improves the prediction accuracy in comparison to pure machine learning techniques while using small training datasets, thus making it suitable for hardware and workload changes.
